DavidTriplett Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Basic Guidelines: In the strictest sense, nature photography should not include "hand of man elements". Please refrain from images with buildings or human made structures like roads, fences, walls. Pets are not permitted. Captive subjects in zoos, arboretums, or aquariums are permitted, but must be declared, and must focus on the subject, not the captivity. Images with obvious human made elements will likely be deleted from the thread, with an explanation to the photographer. Guidelines are based on PSA rules governing Nature photography which also cover the Nature Forum. Keep your image at/under 1000 pixels on the long axis for in-line viewing. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site at Flicker, Photobucket, your own site, etc. Each member please post no more than just one image to this weekly thread per week. We spend a great deal of our free time on the Colorado Plateau, and I've come to an appreciation of the forms and features that are endemic to that climate. One such are the highly sculptural dead, or mostly dead (cue Miracle Max...) trees. They live stressful lives which impart amazing shapes and forms. Then, when they die, those forms are left in stark relief within the arid landscape. I've developed a special affinity for these forms, and one will find they populate a large portion of my portfolio. Today's offering is from a late afternoon spent in the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands National Park. I look forward to your contributions this week. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
